Health Post & Sanitation Issues
INFO Nepal's health post program provides a wide variety of experiences depending on the time of year. While at your placement, volunteers may be doing very hands-on work such as giving shots and treating wounds; conducting home-visits; developing and delivering information on health issues such as birth control and personal hygiene; providing office support; and providing knowledge transfer to the health post doctors on the latest first aid techniques.Volunteers usually work approximately two to four hours a day in the health post, supplemented by teaching health education classes at a local government school or women's group. Prior to your placement at the health post, volunteers will receive two weeks of Nepali language and cultural training. During their placement, volunteers will stay with a local Nepali family located within a half-hour to an hour from the post. An INFO Nepal local co-ordinator will be available to help volunteers.
PROGRAM LOCATION
The placements are available in Kathmandu Valley, Kavre, Langtang, Pokhara, Nawalparasi and Chitwan, all of which are near to a major city. Volunteers can look up the places to get more of a feel for the areas and we can discuss where you will stay when you arrive according to your needs and with considerations of safety of volunteers and availability. Our local co-ordinators will be looking after you.
We also can manage placements for 30 people as we have 30 facilities to place volunteers at a time but we need to receive flight arrival information at least a month in advance.
|| YOUR DAY AT THE PLACEMENT

Tea is served in the morning and in the afternoon. Volunteers may have the opportunity to get together with other volunteers and share their experience. You will be able to travel to nearby towns to purchase things for daily use and could travel to other areas on longer vacation. Besides your project work, volunteers can utilize their spare time in organizing the youth and women's groups of the community to do some worthwhile activities like building a smokeless stove, toilet by using local materials, making a soak pit, kitchen gardening, making a solar dryer, garbage management or paper recycling.

Teach Children needed for
1 to 3 months
Opportunity Description:
The primary purpose of the Center is to offer community youth the opportunity to develop their English language skills and to give the young people a beneficial and positive way of spending their time rather than taking up drinking, smoking or gambling. INFO Nepal's Resource Centers offer English language instruction and cultural interaction to young people and adults in the community. Ultimately, the philosophy is that improved language skills will lead to employment, particularly in the Chitwan and Pokhara tourist areas as well have enormous advantage in any further education: English language is the medium for tertiary education in Nepal. Being able to consolidate classroom knowledge with a native or very good speaker of English is an enormous advantage to learning English and learning about cultures is also enriching and important.

Our Mission is to create and develop a range of dynamic opportunities that would be benefit for International volunteer and the communities of Nepal.

Projects could include; health checks, the creation of medical records, health and sanitation education; administering inoculations against childhood diseases and treating basic ailments in the orphanage. Volunteers with health education and first aid training can also provide real benefits to local communities. You can teach youth clubs and/or womens groups in the community about Health and Sanitation. You can also deliver first aid knowledge to the local villages and assist in developing and delivering First Aid and General Health Programs. Please note that for the health program we prefer medical students or advanced degree holders, however, volunteers with basic experience in this area can also be placed.
